The beginning of an expiry series is a good time to sell options.

#OptionsTrading
When you sell options, you want to profit from erosion of option extrinsic value.

This is the highest, the further away you are from expiration.

#OptionsTrading
Instead if you want to profit from a move in the underlying price, you simply buy or sell the underlying.

Or buy the option with high intrinsic value and low extrinsic value.

A lot of option buyers will prefer to buy a 60-70 delta option for trend following.

Traders need to check their ledger not daily MTM PNL statements.

Selling of deep ITM options to hide and carry forward losses is a common practice amongst unscrupulous "sub-brokers" illegally managing others money in #OptionsTrading.
There are no mandates from @SEBI_India on allowing "sub-brokers" or any party to trade and manage client funds in #OptionsTrading.

Certainly no mandate to take leverage of the sorts usually taken.
@SEBI_India Even AIF Category 3 norms don't allow leverage upwards of 2.

Beyond that, even an AIF cannot solicit funds from the public openly.

More on these norms here:

The God of #Options #Greeks is often disregarded and has no mercy, especially on #Options #expiration day.

A #Thread on #Gamma.

#OptionsGreeks
1/n
The primary feature of #Options is their non-linear payout.

Most traders understand that #OptionsPricing is dependent on the price of the underlying, but the response is non-linear. #Gamma is the variable that describes this non-linearity.

#OptionsGreeks
2/n
Loosely, if #Delta is the speed of the #Options position, #Gamma is the acceleration.

A lot of chatter on my TL about the #edge in #OptionsTrading, specifically #OptionSelling.
A lot of good information but some mis-information being spread as well.

A #thread.
2/n
First off, #OptionSelling by itself is NOT an edge.

Simply by selling an instrument that decays in value over time, doesn't give one an edge towards profit. It is accompanied by short gamma and rising #volatility working "against" you.

#OptionsTrading
3/n
The #volatility #edge or premium expresses itself when the underlying moves "less" than the move that is priced in the options.

Some of my #takeaways & #notes from various #DECMA sessions this weekend. (1/n)
By @madan_kumar
- Build a rock solid trading plan
- Treat trading like a business
- Limit your time spent with the trading business
- Take the extra time that trading allows you to have and spend it with your family
(2/n)
By @Raminations
- Use all experiences positive and negative for building future plans
- Understand the products you are trading to the smallest details
- If a position or trade is giving you sleepless nights, get out of it immediately the next morning.
